Nvidia's Chief Scientist, David Kirk has suggested that "People just don't know as much as they think they do" when it comes down to the "Many" clocks within the GeForce 7800, aka G70.

Following NVIDIA's successful launch of the new 7800 GTX graphics card, crestfallen gamers with AGP rigs have been asking in their droves, 'Where is the AGP part?

From a developer tool perspective GPUs have followed similar path to that of general purpose CPUs. First we had assemblers, then command-line compilers, IDE tool support, and finally advanced specialty tools. Over the years NVIDIA has made a wide range of tools following this arc. Their latest offering is NVPerfHUD 3.

The Cg Toolkit provides a compiler for the Cg language, runtime libraries for use with both leading graphics APIs, runtime libraries for CgFX, example applications, and extensive documentation. Supporting over 20 different OpenGL and DirectX profile targets, Cg will allow you to incorporate the stunning interactive effects into your 3D applications.

Abandon the safety of the familiar, and follow Luna to a vast playground of chaos. She has things to show you, things that must be seen to be believed. The second-generation pixel shading core on the NVIDIA® GeForce? 7800 graphics processing unit (GPU) enables effects never seen before in real time.

Armed with a couple of GeForce 7800 GTX graphics cards, Chris Ray has put together an antialiasing (AA) investigation. Chris provides a brief overview of the new AA features available on the GeForce 7800 GTX and measures performance using Far Cry and Half-Life 2.

For those who intended to use a 6800 series card in their HTPC may have found a ugliness that can not be denied. The bug occurs when trying to use a interlaced resolution out to your display via VGA or VGA to component (using a transcoder) and loading a Direct3D game or 3D accelerated GUI (such as Media Center Edition 2005).

Nvidia have launched a new website dedicated to their SLI technology called SLIzone! Check it out!

Device IDs allow your application to determine what GPU it's running on. We provide a complete list of device IDs for current and past GPUs as well as code samples that illustrate how to use the list.

This page lists the presentations from our sessions at the 2005 Game Developers Conference. For each talk, we provide slides in PDF format, along with a brief description (helpful for talks with titles that aren't quite self-explanatory).

The purpose of this project is to test different applications for SLI support and create adequate profiles according to the results (for single GPU or multi GPU). Because as it seems nVidia is not putting a lot of effort on testing application for SLI support and adding profiles for them. For starting point we used nvapps.xml from Forceware 71.80 Beta drivers and started by fixing the problems we noted in our " Lets talk about SLI... " article, after that we continue to add new profiles...

NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), a worldwide leader in graphics and digital media processors, today announced the latest version of its industry-leading mobile workstation GPUs. The NVIDIA Quadro FX Go1400 mobile GPU for PCI Express resets the bar for mobile workstation graphics, providing the performance, programmability, precision and quality CAD, DCC and scientific applications require. With NVIDIA Quadro FX Go professional solutions, graphics professionals no longer have to sacrifice power and functionality for flexibility and mobility. The NVIDIA Quadro FX Go mobile GPU provides a full complement of workstation features, including hardware-accelerated antialiased lines, OpenGL hardware overlay planes, and two-sided lighting, providing extraordinary application performance and a high level of quality.

Nvidia gains more revenue than expected, cause of the Geforce 6 Sales The Company expects to report total revenue for its fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 between $560 million to $570 million, as compared to the previous guidance of $516 million to slightly higher. Fourth quarter gross margin percentage is expected to be between 33.5 percent and 34.5 percent, as compared to the previous guidance of 33.3 percent.

The last few month shave seen a flurry of drivers sneaking both up online and appearing on NVIDIA?s website. However the 61.82 drivers brought a huge leap forward in performance with applications and many were extremely pleased on just how systems improved. Just when we thought that all was quiet for a while from nowhere out came the 70.** series of drivers catching everyone completely on the hop. Perhaps due to the timings and deadlines for publication some high profile magazines pressed forward with their current issues which meant that they were unable to harness the full range currently available.

TCMagazine: Nvidia has began confirming the video acceleration functionality of the 6800 series GPU has a hardware flaw and will never work. The VP offloads algorithm and image enhancement routines onto the GPU, allowing the CPU to focus on other work. "The product timeframes for high-end products leave little for regressive error testing. This bug is unfortunate, but not a huge problem" Unanimous Nvidia distributor.

If you already didn't know, but Nvidia's GeForce 6800 AGP series of Card's may have had almost all video acceleration in hardware disabled by an internal flaw. The only way to fix this flaw is with a new set of Drivers that should be released soon and a copy of DVD decoder that Nvidia charge 20 bucks for.

First check out TechReport for more Info on the flaw! Then you might want to sign up to the nvidia DVD decoder petiton to try and get the DVD decoder from nvidia for free for the owners of 6800 card's.

I am finally back @ W2S and i want to make a good comeback! And i just saw something very interesting to post. Here is a quote:
We have managed to get our hands on some new NVIDIA drivers that will eventually become what is known as Rel7 and while we will not be releasing these drivers I have decided to take some screenshots of how things are different since the Rel6 and Rel65 releases.

Here is a new beta of Nforce drivers along with the latest NTune utility that has been renamed from Nvidia System Utility to Ntune. Click on Read More... for more information and download link.

What is Xfire? It?s a new, free tool that automatically keeps track of when and where gamers are playing PC games online and lets their friends join them easily. It works regardless of game type, server browser, or gaming service that a player is using.

Blobby Dancer for AMD64 is a liquid-like dancer created by NVIDIA. Watch how he moves and grooves in a surreal disco world of music, light, and color. Originally introduced as a 32-bit technology demo, NVIDIA ported the Blobby Dancer software code to take advantage of the increased performance offered by the 64-bit processing architecture of the AMD Athlon 64 processor. Internal tests of the 64-bit Blobby Dancer demo show the new version outperforms the 32-bit version by more than 27 percent in comparable computing environments.
